    Quote: "There has to be a better way..."

    A gentle soul and pacifist at heart, softspoken TwinCam prefers to be alone. He loathes conflict, and avoids it as far as possible, preferring to spend his time hidden well away from prying eyes, whether human or Decepticon.
    When the time comes though, TwinCam is no coward. His skill with his pyrokatana has impressed Ratchet with its precision, as has his resolution to disable rather than dismember his opponents. His twin Grav-cannons also give him an amazing turn of speed and limited flight capability so he can charge into the thick of battle to intervene before things turn fatal, paralyzing his opponents by quadrupling the effects of gravity on them, rendering them unable to move, let alone fight.
    Still, the quiet warrior fights dark shadows - in the heat of battle, when humans or his fellow warriors are threatened, he can be overcome with rage, unleashing a sadistic thirst for carnage and destruction that chills the energon in the circuits of all who watch him tear his prey to shreds, his quiet chuckling far too audible in the resultant silence.

    thanx man. :) 
    I guess this also answers some questions for people who are thinking of using this mold for Sunstreaker... might work if they're willing to tweak it a little. XD

    Man that looks really cool! The gold really looks good on this mold and that black rally stripe is the perfect touch.

    Heh, thanx guys! :) 


    Thanx guys. :)  Was hoping that the two tone color scheme would work, and I figured I needed something to break up an otherwise almost completely golden alt mode... XD


    Thanx man. XD Sword's from the Battle Tanker set, and was initially meant for Drift, but since my custom Drifts already have their Tenge Musou ones, I figured i'd use this for him. XD

    The paint could use some work on the head and face, it's a bit on the messy side of things.

    the color pallette is kinda bland tbh. I think it's the gold throwing me off. Maybe you could have experimented with using a more metallic Yellow.

    just my 2cents. :)

    Like I said in an earlier comment, I'd sorta buggered the face when I tried to do some detailing on it with a penknife, so I remedied it by heavy coating it with paint... Not ideal, but it'll have to do till I can find a replacement head...
    As for the color scheme... Probably just personal preference, I guess?... I'll admit it's not particularly exciting (lol, boring person by nature, me...) but i wanted to try having it in gold, rather than a yellow... Maybe just cuz I've seen too much yellow on Bumblebee and Dead End...
    Thanx for the comments though? Will keep em in mind when I work on my next custom... :)
